yes, pix... i inferred from your pre-departure post that you were headed to taz, yes...? no...?

i just rolled in to miami from buenos aires and am stuck here until tuesday because my plans changed and i arrived without an onward booking... ah, well... what's a couple of days in the northern capital of latin america, anyway...?

ProfMarcus,I'm a bit jealous of you. I sooo much want to live the ex-pat life. My wife is from a tropical paradise island and we own a house there. A new Club Med is being built just a couple of miles from where this house is. I would love to do nothing more than live out there and blog all day: and maybe write a book or two.

The problem is we just bought a house here in the states and we are tied down for the immediate future. Plus my wife has a pre-existing medical condition, and if we ever left here, it would be hard to come back because of the health insurance.

I REALLY wish we had universal health coverage in this country. I've given up on that, though.

Welcome back, Luke! You can be proud I didn't subject the readers to yet another discussion about the Duke lacrosse spectacle or the Don Imus disaster. That done, on to the real business. Are any of those pictures of fish, and can we see them? I can't help it, they look delicious.
